Tonight, the Philadelphia 76ers loss to the Miami Heat 99-93. The Heat were without starting SG Dwyane Wade tonight due to a bruised knee, starting in his place was SF Shane Battier.
The Sixers had the lead at halftime 54-51 but everything changed for them in the 2nd half, as SF Andre Iguodala left the game in the third quarter due to being poked in the eye by PG Mario Chalmers. With Iguodala being out for the rest of the game, SG Evan Turner had the responsibility of defending Heat SF LeBron James and that did not go very well. James finished the night with 41 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. Evan Turner, on the other hand; was the leading scorer for the Sixers with 26 points and 8 rebounds.
The Sixers (29-24) come back home and play the Toronto Raptors (19-35) on Wednesday night at 7:00 pm at the Wells Fargo Center.
